Urban Report Newsletter, 1991-1995

Series 6. Boys and Girls Clubs of America includes records sent to the BCGB by their parent organization, the BGCA. The records consist of publications, newsletters, reports, program information and suggestions, policies, handbooks, and guidelines produced by the BGCA. Topics addressed in the material are national conferences, finance, public relations, outside organizations, programming, staff and training, and summer camp. It is important to note that this series also includes records from the Boys Club Federation of America, established in 1906. The Boys Club Federation of America became the BGCA in 1931. Of special interest is a bound volume of magazine issues from the Boys' Club Federation: "Boys' Workers Round Table with the Blue Cover: A Magazine of Applied Ideals in Boycraft," 1918-1923. Issues from 1918, 1921, 1922, and 1923 make reference to the BGCB's Charlestown and Roxbury Clubhouses.
